for me the ripple design wasn’t even a problem, but i dread the days i have to wash something that had cooked meat in them with that plastic.

i’d probably pick MiniMetro and simple rythm games like ADOFAI or Rythm Doctor to begin with, simple shapes and an obvious thing to learn to do.

MineTest (has android ver.) and StuntRally are pretty close to reach if you’re willing to be patient and teach them to explore an open space on their own or of their own (one is basically a sandbox engine like Garry’s Mod, the other has a map editor alongside the several open maps). takes a while to understand the UI of each but it’s possible to use.

Celeste is notoriously difficult regardless of age, as a platformer about climbing a mountain, but i’m sure they can grasp it (no pun intended).

non-game programs are also an option. i remember having my mom teach me to use MSPowerPoint which made me break and build a ton of things later on by the time i was 7, it was a mess, but i made that mess :3
try an art program like Pencil2D, Krita or InkScape, maybe something unrelated like LibreOffice Impress or KDE Marble, or a music program like MilkyTracker (has android ver.) and take your time to teach them to make a tune or a flipbook or navigate a map, i’m sure they’ll have fun with something like it too.

the indie space still has a ton of stuff. you lose the benefit of always having accessibility features and easy ui navigation depending on the game (although a ton of indie games have better modding and accessibility support than a lot of high budget games as of recently, just in case they come to be interested), but you still get to see a ton of different stuff.

• Celeste
• OneShot
• Rythm Doctor
• Terraria (has android ver.)
• A Dance Of Fire And Ice (has android ver.)
• MiniMetro (has android ver.)
• ShatteredPixelDungeon (has android ver.)
• StuntRally
• Mindustry (has android ver.)
• HyperRogue (has android ver.)
• SuperMeatBoy
• Don’t Starve
• Undertale/Deltarune (have unofficial android ver.)
• Sky Rogue
• SuperTuxKart (has android ver.)

most of these without coming close to Nintendo’s approach to fan works, so i’d say you’re not going to lose much if you know the right places.

if you want games for Android, Mitch is a third-party access to itch.io, a game store where you can by the game and get the game straight into a zip file or what-have-you. no DRM, no questions asked. about half the games i mentioned are in there without the predatory behavior most of the time.

yeah that’s fair

Do-Not-Track requests is nothing but a header on GET. at best, it’s useless, with exceptions from websites that already barely track you. at worst, it’s another data point for fingerprinting your browser.

understandabe

not for long, and expect even more restrictions to its use after Web Environment Integrity.

classic mistake when writing a reply bot

the tracking of pirated copies is even more fucked up. is that their way of imposing that “piracy = stealing”?

there’s still some interesting parts to note in the comic. i personally like the slightly tilted view in the first panel used to emphasize the surprise of the moment for example.

that said, the original version of the comic is a fucking joke. i can’t imagine even my mother taking that one seriously x.x

i’m not very sure about Windows aside from DeviantArt, RealWorld and similar galleries, but for KDE you can get a catalogue built into the cursor settings

as if that would solve the core issue

that is a game engine limitation, not an in-universe physics limitation.

something to do with input sanitization probably

lately i’ve been interested in discussions of “Rewriting everything in Rust”

no thanks i’m good

…is this a mandatory update?

all creative works are derivative

my bad x.x

have at it!

taken from Gitlab’s manual page for creating a key, but i wonder what else could be done to expand on it.

#~/.gitconfig
[includeIf "hasconfig:remote.*.url:https://gitlab.com/**"]
path = /path/to/gitlab.gitconfig
[includeIf "hasconfig:remote.*.url:https://github.com/**"]
path = /path/to/github.gitconfig

#example gitlab gitconfig from the included path
[user]
name = Your Name
email = 0000000-YourName@users.noreply.gitlab.com
signingkey = 0000999988887777

[commit]
gpgsign = true

if all works well, Git should be able to automatically use the selected key depending on the repo’s stated remote server.
